The disclosure contradicts public statements by former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, who repeatedly assured Congress that conservative groups were not targeted.

On Friday, the IRS apologized for what it acknowledged was inappropriate targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if those groups were violating their tax-exempt status.

The Treasurys inspector general for tax administration is expected to release the results of a nearly yearlong investigation in the coming week.

The Associated Press obtained part of the draft report.

That report says the head of the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups learned that groups were being targeted in June 2011. It does not say whether Shulman was notified.

Remember, youre not paranoid, they really do hate you. At the highest levels....

Interesting conundrum. Who is the liar in this, the MSM or the gubmint? For once both can not be. Oh wait, AP says IRS person named Douglas. Maybe that is the loophole, AP lies about Douglas but Douglas lies about the Tea Party. And so the truth is still valid, both are liars.

Very interesting. Please pass the popcorn.

The IRS also has been targeting tea party/patriot individuals. Talk about subverting the democratic process! After a nine month long IRS enema, I confess that I feel sick every time I contribute to a conservative cause. I’m even suspicious of callers claiming to be soliciting funds for the tea party or patriotic groups.

Democrat = Gestapo

Thanks to God and a fine tax attorney, I survived, but how many people can pay the price of a top tax attorney? The government has unlimited funds and lawyers. Most people don’t have the money or the huge amount of time required by ideologically inspired tax audits.

D, there is no comparison. Nixon was a Christian, a veteran, a native born American who knew how many states were in the union at any given time. He was a heterosexual. He spent eight years learning how to run a country by working with one of the best. Nixon was an anti-communist and a patriot. He would not have hung Americans under attack out to dry.

The IRS reported into then-secretary of the Treasury, "Turbo Tax" Tim Geithner, a well-known tax avoider. So, once again, the guy who evades the tax system then institutes policies to discriminate against good citizens.

This is the most un-American act, using the IRS politically and everyone, EVERYONE, should be outraged.

On another site, someone remarked that this is an attempt to draw attention from Benghazi and amnesty legislation. We can not lose sight of the big picture. This needs to be woven into the bigger narrative that the larger the government, the larger the abuses, if this doesn`t prove it, then what will, Femma Camps?
